The Six Nations has a week off but Europe's championship continues. The top match of this round is between the leading teams, Georgia and Spain after Spain's important victory over Romania in Madrid. Spain are well placed to qualify for the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

AMERICAS RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP: Canada will be aiming to extend their proud record of World Cup appearances on Saturday as the 2018 Americas Rugby Championship kicks off with a ticket to next year's tournament in Japan up for grabs.

It's more of the exciting same this week as the teams from last week get shuffled. Again there will be big, enthusiastic crowds. Again the referees will be on their toes. It is devoutly to be hoped that it will again be a controversy-free weekend.
